Laughter Yoga Leader #2


WSM Gary and Sister Goddess Mina

Sister Goddess Mina led LAUGHter Yoga today.
A native of Toronto, Canada, she blesses our
beautiful City of Hollywood as a snowbird.
With a background in dance therapy, Sister Goddess Mina
is always seeking and finding cool and fabulous things to do.

Sister Goddess Mina revved us right through a
fun filled routine of Aloha and dancing and laughing
and sharing gibberish on our imaginary group cell phone

She facilitated our being JOY in the world.

It was AWEsome.

We LAUGHed and washed all our aches and pains away.
And then showered Gratitude LAUGHter to our body.

We went down crying,
We came up LAUGHing.
We released anything that
no longer served us.

We LAUGHed away the tension
as we took deep breaths and
spread the Aloha into the world

We rubbed each others back
and stimulated our chakras
We shook hands in greeting laughter
as we twisted and turned and danced

We put into our Healing Circle
Our Wishes and Intentions for the World.

We moved - flowed - LAUGHed.

We are deeply grateful to Sister Goddess Mina
and WSM Gary for encouraging her to share

Way to Go Goddess, way to Go.

Thank you for being a LOVEcat - woo hoo~@~

It's such a beautiful melody

Sister Goddess Christina brings her
music therapy background into play

- her JOY in MOTION -
is delightful

We giggle and LAUGH and play

We hold our hearts and
expand our rib cages
and Yell with all our might
- because we can -

We hokey poky our whole selves in

We play under the trees
As the Birds watch and bless
Our ripples of LAUGHter & Peace
which they will carry to the
corners of the World

Laughter Yoga - Tuesday Morning


This morning I was a little tired. Couldn't tell if it would warm up or stay cold. The park and most of Hollywood was blanketed in a deep and heavy fog. We got to TY Park - ready to LAUGH and shake it out. The coots and the ibises and squirrels were there to greet us.

Today's LAUGHter Yoga was AWEsome. Lots of energy as the Full Moon is almost upon us. Our core group of regulars was set to go - almost bouncing in our bodies.

My favorite exercise today was HEART LAUGHter. I love putting my hands on my heart and connecting with the powerful engine within. I love to sway and slow down to my body's natural rhythm. The sun tried to break through the fog while we swayed under the trees. Hands on our hearts, taking a deep inhale and then exhaling a big HA. Getting louder and prouder with each HA we released, we built up to six HA's as we looked into each others eyes. Having an opportunity to be conscious and feel my heart - this is powerful medicine.

It feels good to create EnerCHI with like minded souls who feel the same way about LAUGHing. Thank you to all the trendsetting WSMs & Goddessess above who braved the imminent showers that blew away as we created waves of Aloha LAUGHter to send out to the World.

It's funny. I'm not tired anymore. Tee hee ~@~

Adventure 1/23/10


A great big THANK YOU and NAMASTE to Sister Goddess Marissa of Parks & Recreation for the City of Doral. This amazing Goddess runs all sorts of cool programs for kids. She invited us to participate in a Teacher Planning Day camp. On the days that teachers plan and kids are sent home, the City provides a day camp alternative for working parents. SG Marissa had all sorts of fun activities for the 54 kids enrolled. She hires yoga teachers and martial arts instructors and jazzercise pros to immerse the kids in new activities.

WSM Noah and I were blessed to LAUGH as penguins and monkeys might. Surrounded by 54 little Peeps we roared like lions and shook it all out. Ranging in age from ages 5 to 11, these little souls were OMazing. We were immersed in the moment as we HO HA HA HA'd. We spoke gibberish and sent ALOHA love to the world. We created so much yummy energy that day.

My hair got touched, twirled, stroked and braided. I got high fives and low fives and heads on my belly LAUGHter. So much LOVE. WSM Noah and I left there with warm hearts and happy spirits - oxytocin pumping and bodies purring with feel good hormones.

Children and LAUGHter - what a potent combination. What a great way to unleash PEACE on this Planet.

Thank you SG Marissa for BEing a peacemaking, trendsetting, creatrix of adventure.

WSM Glenn

WSM Glenn is a peaceful soul who joined our LAUGH LOVE LIVE Cirlce almost a year ago. He was looking to add something to his yoga teachings on the beach.

He surprised us one day by jumping out from behind a tree and serenading us on his guitar with his rendition of “Who do you Love?” A bard, a teacher, a performer – this WSM is very talented.

He was recently spotted at the Little Bakery in Hollywood, Florida where he hosts an acoustic open mic night. He shared with us this video below.



Thank you for the beautiful vibrations, WSM Glenn. You are not the only one, my WSM Dreamer.

The Humanist and his Queen Goddess

I met WSM George and his wife, Goddess Malka at our Thursday Laughter Yoga Circle.

They so enjoyed our session that they came back for more. And they brought friends. They also petitioned to have me teach Laughter Yoga at the Hallandale Memorial Senior Center.

Goddess Malka is a body laugher. She uses her whole body to laugh. She is amazing during the Wave as she lets it roll through her body and twirl her around until she releases it.
WSM George, he can start and stop at will. And when you hug him and laugh, it reverberates right through you, from the tips of your toes to your core. Tee hee!!!

WSM George is a humanist. During our healing circle at the end, he will put patience and tolerance into the circle and send it out to the Universe. Goddess Malka (which means Queen in Hebrew) and WSM George always send me the most wonderful emails. The files they send contain beautiful pictures and sounds that inspire and motivate me. This week, I was really touched by this video they shared of Declan Galbraith singing Tell Me Why.



Declan was 10 when this song was released. His compelling voice is captivating. My favorite lyric is: LAUGHTER IS THE LANGUAGE OF THE WORLD. Enjoy!!! A tidbit: On December 9, 2002, the largest choir in history, drawn from all parts of the UK and Ireland joined Declan to sing “Tell Me Why” for a Guinness World Record.
